Substituted benzovlpyrazoles The invention relates to novel substituted benzoylpyrazoles, to processes for their preparation and to their use as herbicides.
It is already known that certain substituted benzoylpyrazoles have herbicidal properties (cf. EP-A-352543, WO-A-96/26206, WO-A-97/35850, WO-A-97/41105, WO-A-97141116, WO-A-97141117, WO-A-97/41118, WO-A-97/46530, WO-A-98128981, WO-A-98/31681, WO-A-98/31682, WO-A-99/07697). However, the activity of these compounds is not entirely satisfactory.

The oily product that separates off during the addition is extracted with methylene chloride, and the extraction solution is dried with magnesium sulfate and filtered. From the filtrate, the solvent is carefully distilled off under waterpump vacuum.
This gives 1.5 g (72% of theory) of 4-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl-2-[3-chloro-4-(1-ethyl-5-hydroxy-pyrazol-4-yl-carbonyl)-phenyl]-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one as an amorphous product.
loge (determined at pH=2): 2.63.

Calibration was carried out using unbranched alkan-2-ones (having 3 to 16 carbon atoms) with known IogP values (determination of the loge values by the retention times using linear interpolation between two successive alkanones).
The lambda max values were determined in the maxima of the chromatographic signals using the UV spectra from 200 nm to 400 nm.

Le A 33 628-Foreign Countries The loge values given in Table 3 were determined in accordance with EEC
Directive 79/831 Annex V.A8 by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) on a reversed-phase column (C 18). Temperature: 43°C.
(a) Mobile phases for the determination in the acidic range: 0.1% aqueous phosphoric acid, acetonitrile; linear gradient from 10% acetonitrile to 90% acetonitrile -corresponding measurement results in Table 1 are marked a).
(b) Mobile phases for the determination in the neutral range: 0.01 molar aqueous phosphate buffer solution, acetonitrile; linear gradient from 10% acetonitrile to 90%
acetonitrile - corresponding measurement results in Table 1 are marked b).
Calibration was carried out using unbranched alkan-2-ones (having 3 to 16 carbon I S atoms) with known IogP values (determination of the loge values by the retention times using linear interpolation between two successive alkanones).
The lambda max values were determined in the maxima of the chromatographic signals using the UV spectra from 200 nm to 400 nm.

Le A 33 628-Forei~ Countries Starting materials of the formula fIV):
Example (IV-1) N~N.-CH3 N
Br Step 1 ,~.r.
10 g (49 mmol) of 2-methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-benzoic acid are dissolved in 150 ml of ethanol and admixed with 1 ml of conc. sulfuric acid. The solution is heated at reflux for 24 hours and then concentrated, the residue is taken up in methylene chloride and the mixture is extracted with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The methylene chloride phase is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under waterpump vacuum.
This gives 9 g (80% of theory) of ethyl 2-methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-benzoate as an amorphous residue.

Le A 33 628-Foreign Countries Step 2 1Br 9 g (39 mmol) of ethyl 2-methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-benzoate are dissolved in 200 ml ""~" of carbon tetrachloride and admixed with 7 g (39 mmol) of N-bromo-succinimide and 0.1 g of dibenzoyl peroxide. The mixture is heated at reflux for 6 hours, and the precipitated succinimide is then filtered and the filtrate is concentrated under waterpump vacuum.
This gives 12 g of an amorphous residue which, in addition to ethyl 2-bromomethyl-4-trifluoromethyl-benzoate, also contains 17% of ethyl 2,2-dibromomethyl-4-trifluoromethyl-benzoate and 12% of ethyl 2-methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-benzoate.

The reaction mixture is taken up in water and extracted repeatedly with methylene chloride. The combined Le A 33 628-Foreign Countries methylene chloride phases are dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated under waterpump vacuum and chromatographed.
This gives 2 g (38% of theory) of 5-bromo-4-methyl-2-(2-ethoxycarbonyl-5-trifluoro-methyl-benzyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one as an amorphous product.

6.7 g (40 mmol) of 4-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one are initially charged in 150 ml of acetonitrile and stirred with 11 g (80 mmol) of potassium carbonate. The mixture is heated to 50°C, and a solution of 13.1 g (44 mmol) of methyl 3-bromomethyl-2,4-dichloro-benzoate in 20 rnl of acetonitrile is .~
then added dropwise with stirnng, and the reaction mixture is heated at reflux with stirring for 15 hours. The mixture is then concentrated under waterpump vacuum and the residue is taken up in methylene chloride, washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, dried with sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure, the residue is digested with petroleum ether and the resulting crystalline product is isolated by filtration with suction.
This gives 14.9 g (97% of theory) of 4-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl-2-(2,6-dichloro-3-methoxycarbonyl-benzyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one of melting point 109°C.

"""°' 10 Calibration was carried out using unbranched alkan-2-ones (having 3 to 16 carbon atoms) with known loge values (determination of the loge values by the retention times using linear interpolation between two successive alkanones).
The lambda max values were determined in the maxima of the chromatographic signals using the UV spectra from 200 nm to 400 nm.

Ix A 33 628-Foreign Countries Use Examples:
Example A
Pre-emergence test Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
Seeds of the test plants are sown in normal soil. After about 24 hours, the soil is sprayed with the preparation of active compound such that the particular amount of active compound is applied per unit area. The concentration of the spray liquor is chosen such that the particular amount of active compound desired is applied in 1006 liters of water per hectare.
After three weeks, the degree of damage to plants is rated in % damage in comparison to the development of the untreated control.
The fi gores denote:
0% - no effect (like untreated control) 100% - total destruction In this test, for example, the compounds of Preparation Example 2 and 3 exhibit strong activity against weeds, and they are tolerated well by crop plants such as, for example, corn.

Le A 33 628-Foreign Countries Example B
Post-emergence test Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
Test plants of a height of 5 - 15 crn are sprayed with the preparation of active compound such that the particular amounts of active compound are applied per unit IS area. The concentration of the spray liquor is chosen such that the particular amounts of active compound desired are applied in 1000 1 of water/ha.
After three weeks, the degree of damage to the plants is rated in % damage in comparison to the development of the untreated control.
The figures denote:
0% = no effect (like untreated control) 100°l0 = total destruction In this test, for example, the compound of Preparation Example 2 and 3 exhibit strong activity against weeds.
